Most previous welding simulations are based on a flat weld pool surface and become unmeaningful when the surface deformation is significant. In recent years, some researchers have developed numerical models capable of simulating free surface motion in welding processes, but they focus on the discussions of physical equations, boundary conditions, and solutions, rather than the numerical algorit...

The objective of this study was to characterize personal exposures to welding-related metals and gases for production welders and non-welders in a large manufacturing facility. Welding fume metals and irritant gases nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) were sampled for thirty-eight workers. Personal exposure air samples for welding fume metals were collected on 37 mm open face cassettes and ni...

Quality of welded joint at MAG welding process depends of numbers of influences, like type and thickness of base metal, groove type, welding position etc., but the proper selection of welding parameters is also very important. Due to that, the analysis of weld bead geometry at MAG welding process with regard to weld current, voltage and weld speed (heat input) and the type and shielding gas flo...

This paper deals with the undesired effects of heat treatments on mechanical properties (UHSS) Ultra High Strength Steel used nowadays in automotive industry to improve crashworthiness performance vehicles. The UHSS specimens were extracted from certain parts car body and subjected different treatments. Four types tested: untreated, welded metal inert gas welding, treated at 800 °C, 1250 °C. Al...

During tungsten inert gas welding process, arc length will change due to thermal deformation, uneven surface of workpiece and electrode loss. Considering the large fluctuation in all-position annular seam under action multi-variable coupling, a mathematical model voltage was established this paper, an isolated high frequency acquisition circuit designed. An improved sliding filtering algorithm ...

In this paper, 8 mm thickness 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) plates were successfully welded using keyhole tungsten inert gas welding (K-TIG) welding, and numerical simulations performed applying the finite element method. Three models of combined heat source adopted to verify accuracy experiment. The process under different speeds simulated, temperature field, molten pool shape, thermal cyc...

Quality strongly depends on good mechanical properties of any manufacturing material. Similarly, quality Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS) like percentage elongation, ultimate tensile strength etc. Better Percentage Elongation (PE) is produced using proper parameters and their values at the time TIG welding. In this study, has been done ASTM/UNS 2205 duplex stainless...

In industries and research organizations most widely used welding methods are shield metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and submerged arc welding (SAW). The SAW process is often preferred because it offers high production rate, high melting efficiency, ease of automation and low operator skill requirement. This review will be very helpful for...
